Quaint, historic schoolhouse on three acres, and firepit by a bold stream, and with a nicely furnished pergola deck including gas grill. All this on a road with several wineries...one close enough to be walkable (with care)! So much history and recreation in the immediate area, you will be overwhelmed with all there is to do in the time you will visit.

This historic schoolhouse rental was very private and so well equipped. Close to Harper's Ferry National Park and many quaint small towns and wineries. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for staying with us Lisa! It was a pleasure to host you. I am so glad that you found our home's proximity to things you wanted to do so convenient. I am also glad you felt it was well equipped and had everything you needed. We would welcome you back as a guest anytime! Hope you made it home safely!
Everything was perfect with my mother in law’s stay and she is looking forward to future visits already. Thank you to the host for their hospitality and easy communication.
If you are staying in Harpers Ferry area, this house is a great location It is very clean and has all the amenities you will need during your stay The property owner is very responsive and available for any questions or problems centrally located to Antietam , Harpers Ferry , etc quiet and relaxing enjoyed our stay
I needed extra beds for a family visit, so we did not spend much time in the house. However, it is a very well stocked home if you want to cook. I slept in the Murphy bed, it was comfortable. I could imagine someone who needed to work/write could enjoy this just-the-right-size home. For its size, it feels spacious. Quiet, adorable, and close to so much. Owner communication was excellent! We will be back!

MaryJane and her husband were ten-star guests. They were tidy and very respectful and thoughtful guests. We were so lucky they chose to stay at our home. They are welcome back any time! Thanks you for coming MaryJane.
We had a wonderful 4 night stay at this charming property. This converted schoolhouse was very well appointed, and provided all that we needed for a pleasant experience. We also had the opportunity to enjoy the fire pit by the stream one evening, and would highly recommend it .

Thanks for such a nice review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for being amazing guests! You are welcome back any time!
Very smooth check in process and communication before and after stay. Charming stone house with a stunning bathroom (awesome shower), state of the art kitchen, and cozy beds. We didn’t spend time on the back porch due to the weather, but it’s lovely. My family all gives the property a strong two thumbs up!

Thanks so much for staying with us. We enjoyed hosting you. Your neatness and respect for our home were thoroughly appreciated. You are most welcome to return any time. Glad you had an enjoyable time!
Great Stay...only wish we could have stayed longer!
We were in town to attend a family wedding and the historical schoolhouse was the perfect peaceful place for us to return to after long days out and about. Lynne was wonderful in communicating all the details we would need prior to check in and ensured we had no issues during our stay. The location feels like it's out in the peaceful countryside but it's not far from town, restaurants, shopping, etc. The house has been beautifully restored with all the modern conveniences. We would definitely stay again when we are visiting family in the area!

Thank you, Jennifer! We loved hosting your family for your special event. You would be most welcome to stay again any time.
This VRBO home could not have been any better! It was clean, cozy, comfortable, and well stocked with everything you can possibly need. The owner, Lynn, answered all of our questions and responded to our text messages quickly. She could not have been more helpful. Location is ideal close to wineries and great restaurants. we enjoyed the grill on the back deck as well as the relaxing creek and chairs around the fire pit
We enjoyed our stay here so much. We are looking forward to going back again. I highly recommend this beautiful VRBO to anyone who is looking for a delightful and relaxing getaway.
A lot of great things to do in the area, home was very clean and accommodating. Stocked well to cook, very easy check in process. Very comfortable bed, cozy and relaxing inside, we enjoyed it even when it rained. Highly recommend.

Why they chose this property
This great historic property serves as our home base to watch our newest grandson grow. We are especially partial to the natural beauty of Loudoun county and its active lifestyle. We are always seeking gorgeous sunsets, and love to hike and bike as well as take in the local history and wine scene.
What makes this property unique
It doesn't get much better than this location for close proximity to many adventures whether it be hiking a section of the Appalachian Trail, covering some miles on a bike or by foot on the W&OD trail, playing some video poker or slots in the Charlestown casino, visiting Harper's Ferry National Park, sipping some great local wine, beer, or whiskey, or tubing down the Shenandoah or Potomac rivers.
